# Sync data from Blackbaud
## Overview
### Audience
This guide is for schools who are [NAIS ](https://www.nais.org)members, and use Blackbaud for admissions or application data.
After one person at your school completes this process, the integration will work for everyone at your school. Each user should use their own login. Any NAIS member school can have unlimited staff accounts. Add and manage your school's roster at [my.nais.org](https://my.nais.org).
### Goal
This integration syncs two types of data from Blackbaud into Market View.
1. Applicants. If it exists, we will sync names, grades, addresses, and student IDs for students who applied to your school.
2. Enrollments. If it exists, we will sync names, grades, addresses, and student IDs for students who enrolled in your school.

Market View is committed to the highest security of your data. We encrypt all data in transit from your admission software, and any time it is used. We encrypt the data within our database. Your data will never leave our database or be shared. We take data security and privacy extremely seriously.[ Read more about how Market View protects your data. ](/nais/add-your-data/data-privacy.md)
